Spotlight: All Pad-Mounted Gear IS NOT Created Equal.

S&C’s Pad-Mounted Gear Provides the Best Long-Term Value

At a glance, all pad-mounted gear looks the same . . . just another green box. But all pad-mounted gear is not the same. To determine the gear that will best serve your needs over the long run, you’ll need to compare equipment from different suppliers.

Seemingly subtle differences in design, manufacture, and materials can make big differences in product life, safety, and ease of operation. A small up-front difference in purchased price between competing equipment can be dwarfed by a huge difference in operating cost over the life of the gear.

Why is S&C Pad-Mounted Gear the Best Value?

Longer, Trouble-Free Life. S&C’s Mini-Rupter® Switches, Penta-Latch® Mechanism, Ultradur® Finishing System, unique ventilation system, and overall electrical design all contribute to better performing, longer-life gear that won’t need to be replaced . . . while competitive gear needs to be changed out.
Better Finishing System. S&C’s Ultradur Finishing System lasts longer than the finish on other gear, especially in corrosive atmospheres. So you can reduce (or eliminate) the cost of repainting.
Greater Safety. S&C gear has been designed to avoid the “poke-and-pry” problems and vandalism associated with unfenced switchgear. The S&C Penta-Latch Mechanism — plus S&C’s superior finish that reduces the chance of rust-induced holes — helps protect the public from harm. And its superior fuse handling, better grounding system, and easier barrier handling all contribute to reduced risks for operating personnel too.
Customer Service “Beyond the Call of Duty”. S&C is renowned for providing emergency shipments to customers in their time of need: in the wake of ice storms, tornados, or hurricanes. Nights, weekends, or holidays . . . whatever it takes, S&C will make it happen.
